Not a hard class by any means, but she does expect you to read and participate- which is hard when the reading is dense. However, she does like to show short videos in class, and bring modern concepts into the study of Galician culture which allows you to put a lot of things into context. Two papers, a midterm, and attendance make up your grade!

comes off mean but is a great prof!!.. makes lecture very interesting and not much homework..

she does not give out much homework. when taking a midter you will know what is needed. she will test you on thinks she has talked about and also she will go over the midterm with you. at first i thought she was a mean instructor but she really isn't.

It's all true. The worst professor I have had the misfortune of meeting my entire academic career. Rude, belittling, and just neurotically insane to be honest. She yells at and scolds the class daily about effort yet literally did not even lecture once. On the final class she stormed out after mocking students in response to feedback on the course.

When we asked for help in this class, the professor rudely criticized us for wanting it and shamed us for not knowing better. The class itself was pretty difficult because there were no rubrics to their high expectations, but the TAs eventually helped us. Overall, the professor makes the class very unlikable and makes you want to stay home.

I genuinely enjoyed the subject but the professor is TERRIBLE. Silvia is very rude and dismissive to everyone. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Honestly lacks social skills cause she undermines everyone and believes she is is above everyone. Overall class wasn't bad but just the professor. I enjoyed talking with TA's and attending office hours
